Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair has been selected by United States President Donald Trump to join a new 'Board of Peace' focused on preventing future conflict in Gaza. The White House announced that Sir Tony will serve on the founding executive board, alongside prominent Trump administration figures including the United States secretary of state, the special envoy to the Middle East, and Jared Kushner. This board is tasked with leading long-term peace and stabilisation efforts in the Middle East, with each member expected to oversee specific portfolios. Sir Tony's inclusion on both the founding board and a broader Gaza Executive Board signals a significant role in shaping the region's future governance and peace initiatives.
